Description
The Standard sets out a method for determining the durability of geotextiles when subjected to degradation by artificial light and heat.
Notes:
- As the artificial light source produces heat, it is expedient to combine the tests for these two agencies of degradation.
- Two testing periods are given, referred to as the standard period and the extended period, so that the effects of additional exposure can be assessed if required.
- Materials with poor stability to light will usually show considerable loss of strength after the standard period of exposure.
